ODRL Information Model 2.2

Information model for expressing permissions, prohibitions, duties, and related policy assertions.

Identity and normative owner

Record: odrl; record authority: Modeling. Normative owner of subject: World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Resource reference: https://www.w3.org/TR/odrl-model/ Registration is for discovery, not adoption, endorsement, or transfer of normative ownership.

Editions

  • 2.2: W3C Recommendation (named 2018 publication). Named edition for identification, not a claim that it is the newest edition.

Distributions and references

  • odrl-documentation — documentation, text/html, en. Rights are assessed per distribution in the record. Unassessed rights do not imply permission to redistribute.

Verification scope

  • metadata-observed (2026-09-17): Primary-source page metadata observed; no distribution bytes, legal clearance, current-latest guarantee, or implementation conformance was verified.

Cautions

  • A machine-readable rights expression is not a substitute for establishing which rights actually apply.
